   Those who can only stomach milk can't chew.   
   They might swallow a byte of some food for thought   
   but it tends to stick in their craw.

   I'd mentioned a while ago about, othering, myself, here.   
      
   Why would dust speak to dust of motes and beams?   
   Oar the moat. Ore of the mine sighs. Would the left middle   
   finger tell the thumb where to find an index on the right hand?   
      
   Strolling along a beach one day, an old man saw a young soul.   
   The youngster was flinging some things into the surf.   
      
   As they approached each other, they smiled.   
   The old man asked the young soul if he'd made a difference.   
      
   As the youngster picked up another flat penny-like material   
   that could as well have been copper on a train track, and flung it,   
   as it skipped over the surface of the water, he said, sure.   
      
   Every thing makes a difference in all things.   
   Once one has carved what is uncarved.   
      
   The old guy picked up a flat thing, which appeared to be   
   a star-shaped rock, and flung it far above the waves.   
      
   It went into orbit, as a matter of fact, and is still,   
   out there, falling free as a stoner once fell.   
      
   - off his rocker
